There are delays in project implementation.

The project to build a multi-functional Cinema Center is a level II civil work, invested by 12/9 Cinema Joint Stock Company, with a total investment of more than 132.1 billion VND. This project was approved by the Provincial People's Committee for detailed construction planning 1/500 on October 27, 2010 in Decision No. 5092/QD-UBND.

By March 6, 2012, the 12/9 Cinema Joint Stock Company was leased land by the Provincial People's Committee with an area of ​​5,621.3m ² . According to the plan, the project includes 4 items and works including: Sports and tourism supermarket block (building A), with an area of ​​1,112m ² ; Cinema, entertainment and office block (building B), with an area of ​​1,112m ² ; Green land, garden with an area of ​​560m ² ; Internal road yard with an area of ​​2,816m ² . The project is implemented right on Quang Trung street (in Quang Trung ward), one of the most "prime" areas in Vinh city.

According to the Investment Certificate issued on July 5, 2012, the progress of the 12/9 Multi-functional Cinema Center project is divided into 2 phases. Phase I from the first quarter of 2012 to the first quarter of 2013, includes steps of investment preparation, site clearance, construction of the cinema, entertainment and office block (building B); Phase II from the second quarter of 2016 to the first quarter of 2017, includes steps of construction of the sports and tourism supermarket block (building A), completion of the project and putting it into operation.

In the land area planned to build a sports and tourism supermarket block, after many years of being used by the investor as a cafe and beer house, at the end of 2023, the ground was leveled and construction began in full swing.
